Cops probing Tobago jewellery store robbery

Tobago police are pursuing leads in the Lowlands Mall Caribbean Jewellers heist, said Insp Alicia Piggott, giving an update on Tobago Channel Five’s morning show on August 19.

On August 14, two men entered the jewellery store shortly before 11 am and announced a hold-up.

A 29-second video shared via social media showed two men in construction hats and safety jackets. One of them was seen kicking and stamping the security guard on the head, and the other was seen leaving through the back of the store with a black garbage bag.

The security guard was taken to Scarborough General Hospital. His condition remains unknown.

Piggott said the police had recovered some of the jewellery "in a track in the Lowlands area."

The police were working on leads, she said, and she was sure either one or two arrests would soon be made.

The investigation, she said, was ongoing.
